Nice:
It's amazing to see that you had the drive to make an app just for your fellow SGS4G users.
Thanks Alot FB.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).
I went through a factory-wipe, update to 2.3.6, root, custom kernel, CM7 install, and now on CM9. It seems to work fine. Except I'm on AT&T!
I just purchased your app. I will try it out in a few hours. If it works, I'll leave a positive review here and on the Play store.

Thank you, but if you're already using your SGH-T959V successfully on AT&T it means that your phone is already unlocked and don't need to attempt to unlock again.

I was *not* using it on AT&T, that is why I bought your app.
The phone was locked to T-Mobile. When I put in my AT&T SIM, it asked for a SIM PIN or something.
With the T-Mobile SIM inserted, I ran your app, wrote down the number, put my AT&T SIM in, typed in the number, then it said "Network Unlocked" (or something like that).
Does this mean the device is unlocked for ANY GSM network (such as Bell or Rogers), or was it telling me that it was unlocked for just the AT&T SIM?

It should work with any compatible GSM network that uses a full-sized SIM card.

Hi, quick question about your App.
There will be soon the SGS4G Google Edition. It will be available only for AT&T and T-Mobile.
I'm from Belgium and I planned to buy the phone during my holidays in the U.S.
Do you think your app will work in this case and unlock the carrier ?
Regards.

Whoever decided to name the phone the Galaxy S 4G picked a bad name. The phone this app is designed for came out in 2011 (SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W), so it will not work on the new 2013 Galaxy S 4.

Will it work on non rooted?

If I rename your file in update.zip will it unlock also a not rooted device?
I tried some other files but unsuccessfully as not signed.
Can I ask which ROM do you suggest for this t959 4g and if it support front camera?
I used to convert avi files from my cheap camera to latest space conscious mp4 h264 on the gt i9000 with official ROM CM10.1 rc5 but often with big files it just slow down, freeze and restart, which parameters of CPU and RAM should I fine tune to achieve video transcoding done? (actually Roman 10 1.5.6)

This is a native android application available from Google Play, not a flashable zip file.
Are you sure you're using an SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W

idexample said:
Yes it is the 959 but I made the example with my old gt i9000 as it is similar in RAM and spec.
You offered aside your Google Play apk also a zip file in your other thread but I was asking how can I flash it if not rooted ask for zip signature.
About the conversion of videos now I have better results with Mackay ROM, must install yet the latest 2.11.4.

Good luck!

As you work from long time on this device, can I ask you after stock gingerbread what you suggest to put on please?
For non bricked device I will need root and custom recovery, cwm TWRP or other, in other posts I read about Amonra....
Thanks

Thanks and question
Hello,
And thanks for this amazing app. But suddenly it doesnt works for me. I´ll explain.
I´ve purchased one SGH-T959V from Tmobile from ebay. I´ve done the "return to stock rom", root and installed the busybox. When I´ve purchased your app, it downloads but apperas an error message:
Couldnt install on USB storage or SD card.
I´ve tried to install another apps, and they´re installed succesfully.
Could you tell me what can I try?

Here; I have mine for 3 solid hours .
This is the SM- N920I release. Therefore purchased new. Sealed .
At first start there in the list: French - France for the language.
So I set all without worries.
No worries grip level of the network. Whether in town or in the countryside.
On my trip I had the 4g . The 3g . And at home in the countryside I'm Edge ; As with other smartphone I've owned .
So I have a Note 5 Version completely in French and I do not see any fault in relation to a unit purchased in Europe such as notes 4. Unless the Note 5 is frankly a very beautiful and strong improvement .
It is downright gorgeous. The back is very pretty ; more plastic . The screen is sublime.
It is super fast ; fluid; pleasant .
I'm tired; going to bed . More information later.
Looks like another . That's all for the time being

Hey guys , can you tell me if this firmware for the model SM - N910i supports Italian language ( PDA : N920IDVU1AOH2; CSC : N920INZC1AOH2 ) . In addition, the model SM - N920I is factory unlocked and you can flash with odin any firmware of this model ?! Thank you!

OK thanks. This model has no problems with locked bootloaders , right ?. One last thing , I assume you have the firmware NZC , there is also the Italian language system ?.

The locked bootloader is down to your carrier but that "shouldn't" prevent the same model firmware flashing.
Yes I have NZC and as you might notice from one of my older posts it contains almost every language by default

Does the NZC firmware have any bloat or carrier branding (i.e. carrier boot animations)? Because I have the TNZ firmware which has the Spark splashscreen and a Spark app that's just bloat since I use the phone on Vodafone. One other thing, is the stock internet browser Samsung's browser, because for me it's Y! TWorld, which is the same thing functionally, it just bugs me that it's been renamed and has a different icon.

No carrier bloat or branding other than the uninstallable 2Degrees app
Yeah there is a reason I never get a spark phone ever since my first one, all of the extra rebranding and removal of certain apps to put their own ones in...
In fact after one of my friends who had the same phone as me but was lagging constantly saw that I had no spark branding and asked if that was the problem with his phone (we both had the Exynos Note 4)

So flashing this firmware should remove the carrier branding? Awesome! Just one last question, could you post a screen capture of the pre-installed Internet browser? Because mine is different to what it should be and I'm wondering if that's down to the firmware.
(Sorry I can't post a screen capture of it, I'm new to the forums so it won't let me.)

1/ back to stock, reroot, TWRP, read how to sim unlock the Sprint HTC 10 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/nv-unlock-sim-t3314755
2/ download Viper10 2.5.0 (or any similar rom based on 1.80) inside Aroma, YOU MUST CHOOSE CARRIER IS SPRINT
3/ reboot the phone, dial ##3424# to open DM mode on (just check)
4/ download the firmware you want to flash, open the zip file, edit android-info.txt to match your CID and MID (don't change your phone MID)
5/ DELETE RADIO.IMG
6/ flash the edited firmware
7/ reboot into download mode, check your radio (should be [email protected]), your firmware version,
8 reboot phone, dial ##3424# to open DM mode on (if you can, congratulation)
9/ unlock your simcard again
10/ flash any rom match your firmware.
11/ enjoy

Can anyone verify this? Not to be doubtful but I'm ever so slightly skeptical.
Further, do I have to reunlock my SIM if I am to just use Sprint service?

If you've any trouble, U can back to original RUU. No step can brick your phone.
Of course, after flashing new firmware not provided by Sprint, your phone will be sim locked. I only provide the way to keep the MID, Radio and turn on DM mode to reunlock the phone.
If U're using sprint service, U must choose carrier as Sprint inside Aroma. I don't have sprint sim card so can't verify if you have to reunlock again

It isn't the first time I mod the firmware like this. In fact, HTC 10 can't flash the radio. The only way to flash radio is put it inside the firmware. I figured out it and try to keep the original radio.
The next trouble is trying to reunlock the sim card and ##diag# only active with sprint service right ? so I keep the sprint service.
When U keep the sprint service and original radio, u don't have to reunlock again. But I can't verify it because I'm no longer live in US.
Just back up anything u need because It the new 1.95.401.3 can format your phone. 1.90.401.3 was fine.

@Captain_Throwback do you think this'll work or I will end up with a brick?
I'd like to try and see if CM13 is bootable after converting my phone to pmeuhl, but I'm a bit hesitant to try this.

I have no point of reference for this, as I've never had a Sprint 10. It shouldn't brick anything, if the firmware is all compatible, but I don't know for sure.

I can confirm that this works! I took a brand new Sprint HTC 10. Unlocked bootloader. Flash TWRP and flash superuser. S-OFF using Sunshine. SIM unlocked it with the NV method (I'm on AT&T). Changed the CID to SuperCID (11111111). Downloaded the latest 1.96.617.2 firmware for unlocked/developer model. Removed the radio.img from the ZIP. Then flashed the ZIP. The Sprint radio is preserved and my SIM unlock was also preserved. Then I just flashed LeeDroid ROM and off I go.

LG V40 bootloader unlock & root

Did someone do it for you? And i don't think there's anyway to flash any sort of firmware on it at the moment.

I just need to find out which firmware supports Metro by T-Mobile's HD calling and the sorts.

By the way, it will be used on Straight Talk with there Verizon sim chip.

Does the Sprint V40 have to be bootloader unlocked before I can flash anything else?

I realized that using the Sprint fw if I make a call I can't use data.

Yes, unlocked or updated directly. Stock fw uses old laf which doesn't allow to flash

Flashing generic UK firmware from O2 - complete n00b request

Hi,
I'm in the UK; have an Xperia 1 II from O2. Bought outright and using my EE sim in the phone. I am investigating the possibility of flashing generic UK firmware (i.e. to match the firmware on the phones sold direct from Sony) so that EE wifi calling hopefully starts to work. Phone is unlocked.
I've never flashed a phone before and am trying to figure out how it works.
My understanding is:
1. can obtain firmware via Xperifirm
2. can flash that firmware using Flashtool
3. don't need to unlock bootloader to flash new firmware.
My questions are:
4. is it as simple as the above? Download my selected firmware and then flash using Flashtool?
5. is Flashtool a third party software? I see the Sony dev site also offers a flash tool called Emma. I have also seen references to a separate Newflasher and the need for an fsc script
6. how do I confirm which firmware is which? I presume I would be looking to use the 'Customized UK' firmware listed in Xperifirm, CDA 1321-7192 / 58.0.A.3.31 / R8A.
Thanks, appreciate any info.
Cheers,
Michael

I posted how I did it here and in this simpler guide here.
Your understandings are correct. FlashTool includes XperiFirm.
4. Yes, though you will have to do a couple of additional steps because the FlashTool devices database has not been updated with the .fsc for the phone yet.
5. Yes, FlashTool is 3rd party software and allows you to change Customization. Emma is only for unlocked bootloaders from what I remember. You will need to also download the .fsc and .properties files I provided and rename the .fsc file.
6. Yes, 'Customized UK' from XperiFirm is what you want.
On Windows you will need to install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers in the Flashtool\drivers directory to communicate with your phone. Follow the instructions here as you need to start Windows with driver signature enforcement disabled to do this.
Once you have that all set up, downloaded the firmware and FlashTool has processed the downloaded firmware, you will be ready to flash. Click Flash and choose Flash Mode, then set it up as in my first link - this will wipe all data on the phone.
When flashing, an error of "those files are not in the fsc script: persist, reset-non-secure-adb" is entirely normal. When flashing has finished successfully it will say "synced".

Thanks heaps - I'll have a go.

O2 advised me the phone is unbranded and unlocked as if bought direct from Sony is this incorrect ??

I have bought mine on o2 also and will be using on three uk .. apart from wifi ifoes everything else function OK without o2 sim ?
To be honest I'm torn between cancelling o2 as they told me the phone was unlocked and unbranded and getting a s20 plus
Thanks in advance Mike

Hi,
It has an O2 app preinstalled. No branding or startup stuff. Everything is fine except no WiFi calling visible for EE, which I expected. I did talk to O2 a bit beforehand and they said the firmware would be specific but nothing else. It is unlocked, my EE SIM is working fine aside from WiFi calling as above.

I doubt you will get VoLTE/4G calling working on EE or 3 with the O2 firmware either. (At least it didn't work for me with a Vodafone SIM). To me VoLTE is much more important than WiFi calling as without VoLTE you cannot make a phone call on 4G and instead have to also have a connection to a 3G or 2G network to make a call.
Flashing the Customized UK firmware should fix this.

Yes exactly. WiFi calling not working on EE out of the box. Just need to take the time and get brave enough to do it!

Did you flash your Xperia 1ii? I have the same, O2 phone with EE sim , no wifi calling but everything else OK. I though it was working before the last Sony update but maybe it wasn't. I notice the mobile signal shows LTE but when I put an O2 sim in it says 4G. I didn't realise it was a firmware issue so looking at doing this. I need wifi calling at the back of my house as the mobile signal is very weak.

Hi, yes I did using this wonderful thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-1-II/how-to/successfully-flashed-customization-t4119707
Read it first as there can be some scary moments depending on which usb-c cable you use to connect the phone to the pc (don't use the Sony one) but it all works if you follow the instructions and I now have WiFi calling over EE.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot over the weekend.
As an aside, if you got it from O2, did you get your 'free' headphones?

Hi
I'm in same situation. Can you please confirm that you can change the mobile bands.
Ie. You can select it to change the preferred network type?
Like in pic below?
Thanks

Does this give you volte as well, or will it just give WiFi calling?

I managed to flash to stock UK and now have Wi-Fi calling on EE - but - I have lost the ability to edit the APN. When I hotspot some apps get confused with IPv6 so I delete that from the EE APN but cant do it now I have flashed. Also lost LTE option. Just generic 5G/4G/3G/2G. Can you edit your APN and do you have LTE?
As for the headphones, good for you - still waiting for mine

After flashing from O2 firmware to stock UK firmware I only have the one option of 5G/4G/3G/2G

Noob question but does flashing the firmware impact using NFC payments and Google pay?
Also does anyone know if/have experience of, the Hong Kong version (dual SIM), being able to use VOLTE/WiFi calling here in the UK? I need a dual SIM phone ideally but I read somewhere that flashing the dual SIM with a UK firmware will disable the second sim slot (which makes sense to me).
Thank you!

LTE is 4G isn't it. Does O2 just put LTE in their firmware rather than 4G?
